There's something I can't understand about importing symbols or entire packages when in SLIME's REPL.Suppose I want to use a socket, my inferior lisp program is SBCL, so I want to import several symbols from it, what I tried:

Both will argue about the symbols I'm trying to use are already in the common-lisp-user package, but they offer to resolve it, giving me two choices, either use those in cl-user, or those from sbcl package. I choose to use those in sbcl, which seems to resolve the error. Next, I try this:

I have the same Emacs 23.2.1, but older SLIME 2010-07-21 and SBCL is 1.0.40.0.debian. It's the same Debian Squeeze.I actually solved it with help from Stackoverflow. When using shadow-import it just worked. idk why.
